A slumbering Georgia community almost chokes on their mint juleps when Hollywood calls to film the true life-and-death story of a heroic local lawman. Aside from the chaos that trails in the moviemakers' wakes, one person has a very private reason for not wanting the intimate details of the gentleman's life story revealed - his widow, Grace. So begins her inventive, comic crusade to obstruct proceedings, aided and abetted by a cast of quirky eccentrics, including the movie star's personal bodyguard and a good-hearted ex-con with a private tragedy of his own. Amidst the hijinks, nobody is prepared for the heartbreaking secrets that are finally revealed, secrets that will change all of them - hero, heroine, and movie star - forever.
